I just recently picked up an Aspire V 17 Nitro and imediately installed Windows 7 on it. Everything is working pretty well so far but I noticed the function keys are not working. The ones where you hold down the "Fn" key and then do thing like adjust the volume.

 

Anyone know how to fix this problem?

 

Thanks.

    I figured it out.

     

    I had to install Acer's "Launch Manager" program.

     

    And I had to go back a few versions to find one that worked with Windows 7.

    The FN key and the up and down arrows adjust the volume. Does it sleep if you push FN+F4?

    Go to Device Manager/Keyboards and right click on the Standard PS/2 keyboard,click uninstall, reboot and let windows reinstall the driver. If the Function keys still won't work you might have a hardware problem with the keyboard.
